Just starting my custom van conversion and will definitely have a go at these.Thanks for a great video as usual.

[@TransitCustomCamper]

Nice one thanks Simon 😀 Good luck with your build - let me know how you get on 👍

[@MrTpimms]

A cracking solution! Excellent work so far!

[@TransitCustomCamper]

Thanks Mr.TPimms! Yes hopefully it will all go to plan in part 2 😀 thanks for watching and the comment too 👍

[@MrTpimms]

@@TransitCustomCamper no problem! I think anything that can help not allowing light in is a bonus!

[@Irelephant]

I have used the hoppvals on the drivers side have you got a video of the sliding door window? Looking for some thing to fit in the gap between the door and the side of the van when open. The hoppvals sticks out too far to make a nice frame

[@TransitCustomCamper]

Hey there! Thanks for the comment. I haven’t done the sliding door window (yet) I did get a smaller blind that would fit the gap in mine and I was planning to do the same approach and attach to the rear of the ply panel… However… I haven’t done this yet so no video I am afraid.. when I get round to it I’ll let you know… Ai haven’t been able to pull together much new content atm at the moment due to a change in circumstances at home but hopefully this will be one of my first videos when I am back on it!

Amazing 🙌

[@TransitCustomCamper]

Thank you 🙌 Appreciate you checking out the video and the kind comment 👍

[@craigholt5910]

Hello I am trying to find a video on how to install side windows. Did you install them or did you get someone else

[@TransitCustomCamper]

Hi Craig - thanks for the comment and checking out the videos… I actually had the windows fitted the only part I didn’t do myself. I used a local company to me but they have since stopped trading. I think if I would do it again would give it a go myself… hopefully you can find another video on TH-cam 👍

[@stevenwaugh9914]

Hi, how did you attach the pod?
Thanks

[@TransitCustomCamper]

Hey Steven - I used self tapping screws through the ply into the metal work of the van and then covered with screw caps… I did a 2nd video on this part here too👇

great idea , there very expensive from companies about £220 per window so over £1000 if you have a 5 window van very over priced

[@TransitCustomCamper]

Thanks Rooster Booster! Yeah a good cost effective DIY solution. I am sure the build and quality of the “propper” ones are better but works for us well in our van 👍 Cheers for watching and the comment much appreciated

[@roostaraver]

@@TransitCustomCamper no problem , i think the quality will be just fine , i will be giving this a go this winter for sure 👍
